She knew it was in the wrong
But did it anyway
She knew she would get caught
Drinking day by day
Her mother talked to her constantly
About the consequences of drinking
She never listened and just ignored
And never realized it was herself she was abusing
Night after night
She would stay out late
Never knowing what came to her await
Finally the day arrived
When she thought she was going to die
Her mother screaming
Saying she’d never cry
Looking at herself in the mirror
At what a horrible person she became
Never thought the day would actually come
When she was all to blame
Writing a letter to her mother
Before she was to die
Thanking for her appreciation
And how she would not cry
Why was I so stupid?
Why did I do what I did?
I guess I was a foolish girl
And never thought of what my mother had forbid.
